Neighbor has timber that is across the fence from one of my hay fields. It's old growth timber that is falling over with every wind storm that we have. Each time it naturally falls on the fence and mashes the fence flat (woven wire fence) and causes me to have to fix it repeatedly. It's been going on now for about 7 years. Each time, I go fix it. The neighbor actually lives about 12 miles from this farm of his and doesn't ever go check that fence, even though he has cattle there. It's on the back side of his place and according to Missouri law, this portion of the fence is his to maintain. I talked to him about it last winter and he said he would FOR SURE go in there and doze out all the dead trees......never got done. This last big storm we had last weekend another big tree went down and took out the fence again. I'm flat tired of fixing the fence because of his neglect. I decided it was HIS time to fix the fence any time one of HIS trees goes down. I called him and "asked" him (in a nice way)if he would fix the fence. He said he would....we'll see. I think maybe if he has to fix fence several times (and it WILL happen again) maybe he'll be encouraged to fix the problem right.
